Message by Job Cohen, Mayor of Amsterdam
I would like to confirm my support to your appeal. The City of Amsterdam wholeheartedly supports equality and human rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people throughout Europe and strongly condemns violations of the freedom of assembly and expression of any European citizen, including LGBT people. These values are at the heart of Europe and Amsterdam aims to be a city where these values thrive and where different groups can live together peacefully while respecting diversity. As last year when Alderman Herrema participated in the Friendship Days in Riga, we will therefore again send a delegation to support the Gay Pride in Warsaw.
Yours sincerely,
M.J. Cohen
Mayor of Amsterdam
